Heck of a good drill and feel

Thanks for the comment - we find it really helps students to get a feeling for an arm motion that doesn't flip the club at impact.

Played hockey from 4 until now I’m 37. Started golfing 5 months ago. What helps too is the inside of the blade. I never sway because my ankles feel like on skates. Also helps with weight transfer my ankle rolls in. The only thing I get caught up in is getting stuck on back swing. I want to hit ball before I get weight shift. But getting batter. This is a great drill for hockey players who golf.

Thanks for the feedback - your point on keeping the weight on the inside of a skate is a great visual!

Hiw long does the right wrist stay in extension and when does it go into flexion how is it released?

When you look at swings from coach Nate you'l find it depends upon the swing speed. For full speed shots from driver and long irons you'll find the right wrist has flattened out more or less as the hands get to the center of the body (belt buckle) post impact. For lower speed wedge shots he may maintain right wrist extension all the way though the shot. The key we have found is you want to get the wrist wrist moving to the thumb down position at impact while still having some extension and avoid the active flex (thumb moving horizontal) through the impact zone. Thanks for the question - that is a good question to do a whole future video on.
